As of now, Peters said the department has developed some investigative leads that are being followed up on, but wouldn’t comment any further on suspects. He urged that the police are asking the citizens of the town of Manlius to contact the town of Manlius police at 682-2212 or to call the anonymous tip line at 682-TIPS if they see or hear anything suspicious.
